Description
本発明は二次電池に係り、より詳細には正極極板と負極極板とがセパレータを介して巻取られた電極組立体及びこれを利用した電池に関する。 The present invention relates to a secondary battery, and more particularly, to an electrode assembly in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are wound via a separator, and a battery using the same.
携帯電話、カムコーダ、ノート型パソコンなどの軽量化及び無線化が急速に進まれるにつれてその駆動電源としてエネルギー密度の高いリチウムイオン電池が求められ、活発に開発されている。このようなリチウム2次電池は円形や非円形の螺旋状に巻取られた電極組立体が円形または角形の缶またはパウチに収容されてなる。 2. Description of the Related Art As the weight and wirelessness of mobile phones, camcorders, notebook computers, and the like have been rapidly reduced, lithium-ion batteries having a high energy density have been demanded as driving power sources, and are being actively developed. Such a lithium secondary battery includes a circular or non-circular spirally wound electrode assembly housed in a circular or square can or pouch.
前記のような二次電池において、電極組立体はストリップ状の正極集電体の両端部の一部(以下、正極無地部という)を除いて正極活物質がコーティングされてなる正極極板と、ストリップ状の負極集電体の両端部の一部(以下、負極無地部という)を除いて負極活物質がコーティングされてなる負極極板と、前記正極極板と負極極板間にセパレータが設置された状態で螺旋状に巻取られてなる。そして、前記正極及び負極極板に設置された無地部の少なくとも一側にはそれぞれリードが設置されている。 In the above secondary battery, the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate coated with a positive electrode active material except for a part of both ends of a strip-shaped positive electrode current collector (hereinafter, referred to as a positive electrode uncoated portion), A negative electrode plate coated with a negative electrode active material except for a part of both end portions of a strip-shaped negative electrode current collector (hereinafter, referred to as a negative electrode uncoated portion), and a separator provided between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate It is spirally wound in a state where it is made. Leads are provided on at least one side of the uncoated portions provided on the positive and negative electrode plates, respectively.
一方、前記無地部は薄板状になっているので、初期巻取り時に前記負極と正極無地部間に摺動が発生する傾向がある。また前記無地部にはリードが連結されており、前記リードが連結された部位には必要に応じてテープを付着して対向する正極無地部と負極無地部間に絶縁性を高めている。しかし、正極無地部及び負極無地部の少なくとも一側にバーが発生した場合、このバーにより絶縁が破壊される問題点がある。また、巻取られる正極無地部と負極無地部とはセパレータにより相互絶縁されてはいるが、この絶縁による信頼性が相対的に低い。 On the other hand, since the uncoated portion has a thin plate shape, sliding tends to occur between the negative electrode and the positive electrode uncoated portion during initial winding. A lead is connected to the uncoated portion, and a tape is attached to a portion to which the lead is connected as necessary to enhance insulation between the opposed uncoated portion of the positive electrode and uncoated portion of the negative electrode. However, when a bar is formed on at least one side of the uncoated portion of the positive electrode and the uncoated portion of the negative electrode, there is a problem that the insulation is broken by the bar. Further, the positive electrode uncoated portion and the negative electrode uncoated portion to be wound are mutually insulated by the separator, but the reliability due to this insulation is relatively low.
一方、特許文献1には非円形スパイラル電池の電極組立体が開示されている。開示された電極組立体は正極板と負極板及びこれら間に介在されたセパレータがスパイラルタイプに巻取られたものであって、正極と負極との巻取られた開始位置が外れており、最も中心に近い極板の折曲部には先巻極板だけ位置し、後巻極板が巻取られ始める位置は先巻極板の最初の折曲より後方に位置する。そして、先巻極板の最初の折曲部は外周に巻取られている先巻極板と対向して位置する。 On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 discloses an electrode assembly of a non-circular spiral battery. The disclosed electrode assembly is one in which a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator interposed therebetween are wound in a spiral type, and the winding start positions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode are out of alignment. Only the first winding electrode plate is located at the bent portion of the electrode plate near the center, and the position where the rear winding electrode plate starts to be wound is located behind the first bending of the first winding electrode plate. Then, the first bent portion of the first-wound electrode plate is located to face the first-wound electrode plate wound around the outer periphery.
特許文献2にはスパイラル型電極組立体を有する電池が開示されている。開示された電極組立体は負電極ストリップの電極コア材質の露出された領域の両側にセパレータを通じて同じ極が位置する構成を有している。 Patent Document 2 discloses a battery having a spiral electrode assembly. The disclosed electrode assembly has a configuration in which the same electrode is located through the separator on both sides of the exposed region of the electrode core material of the negative electrode strip.
そして、特許文献3にはスパイラル型電極組立体を有する電池が開示されている。電極組立体が巻取られる最内側には負極板が位置し、最外側には銅箔の正極板が位置した構成が開示されている。 Patent Literature 3 discloses a battery having a spiral electrode assembly. A configuration is disclosed in which a negative electrode plate is located on the innermost side where the electrode assembly is wound, and a positive electrode plate made of copper foil is located on the outermost side.
前述したように構成されたスパイラル型電極組立体は、正極と負極などの露出領域、すなわち、無地部の領域を限定したものであって、これらの絶縁による信頼度が低いという問題点が内在している。また、電極組立体の中央部に緩衝部材がないので外部からの衝撃に対して緩衝の役割を果たせない問題点がある。
本発明は前記問題点を解決するために、第1電極板と第2電極板及びセパレータの巻取り時、第1電極無地部と第2電極無地部間の絶縁性を高めることができ、外部からの衝撃を緩衝させうる電極組立体及びこれを利用した二次電池を提供するところにその目的がある。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention can enhance the insulation between the first electrode uncoated portion and the second electrode uncoated portion when winding the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate, and the separator. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrode assembly capable of buffering impact from a battery and a secondary battery using the same.
前記のような目的を達成するために本発明は、少なくとも第1電極活物質が塗布された第1電極集電体の少なくとも一側端部に第1電極無地部が形成された第1電極板と、少なくとも第2電極活物質が塗布された第2電極集電体の少なくとも一側端部に第2電極無地部が形成されて前記第1電極板と共に巻取られた第2電極板と、前記第1電極板と前記第2電極板間に介在されたセパレータと、を具備し、前記第1電極無地部と前記第2電極無地部間には少なくとも二重以上の絶縁セパレータが設置されたことを特徴とする電極組立体を提供する。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first electrode plate in which a first electrode uncoated portion is formed at least at one end of a first electrode current collector coated with a first electrode active material. A second electrode plate formed by forming a second electrode uncoated portion on at least one end of the second electrode current collector to which the second electrode active material is applied, and winding the same together with the first electrode plate; A separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, wherein at least two or more insulating separators are provided between the first electrode uncoated portion and the second electrode uncoated portion. An electrode assembly is provided.
前記のような目的を達成するために本発明はまた、少なくとも第1電極活物質が塗布された第1電極集電体の少なくとも一側端部に第1電極無地部が形成された第1電極板と、少なくとも第2電極活物質が塗布された第2電極集電体の少なくとも一側端部に第2電極無地部が形成されて前記第1電極板と共に巻取られた第2電極板と、前記第1電極板と前記第2電極板間に介在されたセパレータと、を具備し、前記第1電極無地部と前記第2電極無地部間には少なくとも二重以上のセパレータが設置されたことを特徴とする電極組立体と、前記電極組立体を収納して密封し、前記電極組立体と電気的に連結された端子部を具備したケースと、を含んでなることを特徴とする二次電池を提供する。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention also provides a first electrode having a first electrode uncoated portion formed on at least one end of a first electrode current collector coated with a first electrode active material. A second electrode plate having a second electrode uncoated portion formed at least at one end of the second electrode current collector to which the second electrode active material is applied, and wound together with the first electrode plate; A separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, and at least two or more separators are provided between the first electrode uncoated portion and the second electrode uncoated portion. An electrode assembly comprising: an electrode assembly; and a case having a terminal portion that houses and seals the electrode assembly and is electrically connected to the electrode assembly. Provide the next battery.
本発明の組立体及びこれを利用した電池は、正極無地部と負極無地部間に少なくとも二重以上の絶縁セパレータを設置することによって絶縁特性を向上させることができ、正極無地部または負極無地部に付着された端子部の絶縁のためにテープの付着を最小化するか除去できる。 The assembly of the present invention and a battery using the same can improve insulation characteristics by installing at least two or more insulating separators between a positive electrode uncoated portion and a negative electrode uncoated portion, and can improve a positive electrode uncoated portion or a negative electrode uncoated portion. In order to insulate the terminals attached to the tape, the adhesion of the tape can be minimized or eliminated.

Meanwhile, the
前記のようなケースに収納される前記電極組立体20は、図3に示されるように、第1電極板24及び第2電極板28がセパレータ30を介して形成されたものであって、本発明の望ましい一実施例によれば、第1及び第2電極板24、28がセパレータ30を介して積層された後、巻取られたゼリーロール状の電極組立体20が使われる。
